Development of RCP Characteristic Models for the ATLAS Facility
- 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been operating a thermal-hydraulic integral effect test loop, ATLAS since its construction in 2005. Non-seal canned motor type pumps were installed at the ATLAS facility to simulate the reactor coolant pumps of the APR1400 plants. A characteristic test program is necessary to identify the characteristics of the ATLAS reactor coolant pumps and to verify a similarity between the reactor coolant pumps of the ATLAS facility and the APR1400. Non-dimensionalized homologous curves for the head and torque of the pumps were obtained from separate tests. The friction loss coefficients for the sheared shaft and the locked rotor conditions were also obtained. The obtained pump characteristics data will be used for preparing the input deck for the safety analysis system code MARS
